On this Remembrance Day, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of all who served and remember those who gave their lives for our freedom. As we pause to reflect, let us also remember the countless horses who stood alongside soldiers, facing the same trials, hardships, and battles. These noble animals carried soldiers, supplies, and hope through the fields, sharing in the burden of war. Today, we remember them too, lying now in the fields of Flanders and beyond, forever a part of our history and our hearts.

I am thrilled to announce the relaunch of the Wholistic Horse Masterclass! Theresa, Ashley, and I have been working hard to bring you an updated program filled with the latest in Ayurvedic equine nutrition, holistic bodywork, energetic health, and deepening the horse-human connection. This comprehensive, three-day masterclass is designed to empower equestrians with the tools and knowledge to support their horses' physical, emotional, and energetic well-being.

Over three immersive days November 18th - 20th, you’ll dive into the four pillars of the Wholistic Horse Academy:

Physical Imbalance
Our horses are incredible athletes, relying on their bodies for strength and grace. Like us, they can develop physical imbalances, from muscular tension to skeletal misalignments, impacting their comfort and performance. Through tailored exercise routines, regular assessments, and targeted therapies, you’ll learn how to detect and address these physical challenges, helping your equine partner move with ease and confidence.

Nutritional Imbalance
The saying "you are what you eat" rings true for our equine partners. An optimal diet is essential for their vitality, affecting everything from energy, performance to immune health. In this pillar, we dive into Ayurvedic equine nutrition, focusing on crafting a balanced diet that meets your horse’s unique needs, with guidance on selecting the right foods, herbs, and supplements to enhance their daily performance and long-term wellness.

Energetic Imbalance
Horses are intuitive beings with intricate energy systems. Stress, trauma, and environmental disruptions can create energetic imbalances, manifesting in behavioral shifts and performance issues. You’ll explore holistic methods, like acupuncture, Reiki, and other energy therapies based around traditional chinese medicine, to support your horse’s energetic health, helping them release blockages and achieve a state of inner harmony.

Mental Blockage
Like us, horses can experience mental barriers, often due to past experiences, fears, or lack of confidence. In this pillar, we provide tools to build trust, using cognitive reconditioning and mindful practices that promote mental clarity and emotional regulation for your equine. You’ll learn ways to support your horse in overcoming these blocks, creating neuropathways built within the parasympathetic state, unlocking their potential for a more fulfilling life.

Led by our expert instructors,
Theresa Gilligan of Neachai Equine Ayurveda
Ashley Stinson of A Plus Equine Bodywork
Alysha Santana of The Holistic Horsewoman

This class accessible to all levels of experience. Join us for the Wholistic Horse Masterclass and transform your approach to equine care from Nov 18th - 20th inside the The Wholistic Horse Academy Facebook group --- https://www.facebook.com/groups/1936128236748715

Trust Your Gut and Listen to Your Horse: A Journey with Ellie

Not long after we adopted Ellie, she came up lame and lethargic just days before her scheduled farrier appointment.

Ellie, having Cushings and a history of laminitis, was a concern. Following my vet's advice, I gave her bute and waited for the farrier. When he arrived, he examined her hooves and checked her digital pulse, suggesting her symptoms were more related to Cushings. He advised us to check her insulin levels.

When the vet came out, he raised a grim possibility: if this wasn't laminitis, Ellie's high levels could indicate her pituitary gland was affecting her brain, causing her rapid decline. Euthanasia was mentioned.

Confused and deeply saddened by how fast Ellie had deteriorated, and with little experience in managing Cushings and laminitis, I trusted the professionals. Despite my doubts, I agreed, not wanting Ellie to suffer.

We scheduled the day and mourned her impending loss. My kids and I spent extra time with Ellie, keeping her as comfortable as possible. We even consulted an animal communicator, hoping for insight. She told us Ellie was tired but grateful and would prefer to go if she didn't improve within a week. I thought the week statement was odd, as Ellie’s appointment was two days later.

As the day approached, Ellie’s energy shifted slightly. When the vet had to reschedule due to an emergency, we saw more improvement.

Within days, she was back to normal—her respiratory rate stabilized, she moved more, and she re-engaged with the herd. Two weeks later, my farrier confirmed she had suffered severe laminitis in 3 out of 4 hooves.

I was heartbroken, realizing my initial suspicions were correct. The professionals had missed the mark, and Ellie's condition could have been managed sooner. Despite how sad I was, I was also relieved Ellie was on the mend.
Recognizing the need for a more attentive care team, I sought new experts. Heather, our new farrier immediately came out and told me how long the flare up was for, how it would've been noticeable during the initial trim my farrier saw her and I inquired, and also noticed the incredible imbalance in almost every horse on my farm. Imbalances that were creating massive postural issues within my horses.

With Heather’s expertise, combined with knowledge / bodywork from Sarah and Dr. Barbara's Holistic Nutrition Course, Ellie has made a full recovery. Her hooves look incredible, her fat pads are gone, and we are building a new foundation for her health.

This journey taught me the importance of trusting your instincts and advocating for your horse’s well-being. If you feel your care team isn't doing enough, they might not be the right fit. Your equine care team should educate and empower you to notice the smallest changes and explore all possibilities for your horse’s health.

Today, I am profoundly grateful for Ellie. Her health journey catalyzed a shift for my entire herd, and being able to have an incredible care team. As well as providing me with the mentors for my own growth and ability to acquire invaluable knowledge in bodywork, nutrition, and balanced hooves.

Our journey underscores the importance of trusting your gut and truly listening to your horse. Every circumstance that arises with our horses in a chance to slow down, and listen. Whether it be a health scare, a behavioural issues, a training issues, etc whatever it may be, listen to what your horse is trying to show you, and find the growth in every moment.

Are you seeking a profound and comprehensive approach to enhance the well-being of your equine?

My integrative equine sessions are carefully tailored experience designed to foster the physical, mental, energetic, and emotional harmony of your horse.

My integrative sessions move through the following -

Postural and Health Assessment: I conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your horse's posture, movement patterns, and overall health. I examine every aspect, from muscular development to joint flexibility, to ensure we grasp a holistic understanding of your horse's well-being. By pinpointing areas of tension, weakness, or discomfort, I can tailor our approach to address your horse's specific needs effectively.

Gut Health Assessment: A healthy digestive system is paramount to your horse's overall well-being. My sessions include a thorough assessment of your horse's gastrointestinal health, examining factors such as digestion, behaviour complexes, nutrient absorption, and potential imbalances in gut flora leading to gut dysbiosis. By identifying any issues or imbalances in their gut health, I can recommend dietary adjustments, supplements, or holistic treatments to support optimal digestive function and overall health.

Hoof Balanced Assessment: Your horse's hooves are the foundation of their entire body, influencing their posture, movement, and comfort. I evaluate hoof balance, and overall hoof health. By ensuring proper hoof balance and function, we promote soundness, comfort, and optimal biomechanics, contributing to your horse's overall well-being and performance.

Energetic Assessment and Healing: As a reiki master of 8 years, I recognize the vital role that energy plays in your horse's health and vitality. Through Reiki I tune into your horse's subtle energy system. By identifying and correcting any disruptions or blockages in their energetic flow, I facilitate profound healing on a deeper level, promoting balance and harmony throughout their entire being.

Acupressure and Aromatherapy Support: Through gentle pressure applied to specific acupoints, I stimulate the body's natural healing responses, alleviating pain, reducing stress, and promoting relaxation. Additionally, I incorporate the therapeutic benefits of essential oils to enhance the effectiveness of our sessions, promoting emotional balance, immune support, and overall wellness.

Myofascial Release Techniques: My sessions conclude with specialized myofascial release techniques aimed at releasing tension, restoring mobility, and improving overall muscular health. By targeting the fascial network, we address restrictions and adhesions within the soft tissues, promoting flexibility, circulation, and optimal muscular balance.

After each session, clients receive a detailed report summarizing my observations, the techniques applied, and specific recommendations for ongoing care. This invaluable resource serves as a roadmap for your horse's continued wellness journey, offering personalized guidance on nutrition, exercise, and holistic therapies.

For the months of May/June, new clients can utilize $25 off their initial appointment, making it the perfect time to embark on this transformative journey towards holistic equine wellness. Secure your appointment today by sending me a message or visiting my appointment registration link at linktr.ee/holistichorsewoman!

Let's Talk About Real Solutions for Our Horses

It's time to stop normalizing the use of band-aid solutions for our equine's' behavioural issues. Instead, let's address the root causes of these problems to genuinely help our horses heal and thrive.

Far too often, when faced with a behavioural challenge from their horses, many resort to quick fixes or temporary solutions. Whether it's masking discomfort with pain-relieving medications, special gadgets or tack or using training techniques that suppress rather than address the underlying issues, these band-aids may provide temporary relief, but they rarely offer long-term solutions.

Horses are incredibly intuitive animals with complex emotions and communication methods. When they exhibit behavioural issues, whether it's aggression, fear, or resistance, it's their way of telling us that something isn't right. Ignoring these signs or merely covering them up with temporary fixes does a disservice to our horses and jeopardizes their well-being.

Instead, we should commit to a more holistic approach. We need to change the narrative as equestrians and prioritize understanding our horses' individual needs, physical health, and emotional well-being. This means investing time in building a strong bond based on trust and mutual respect, rather than relying solely on training techniques that prioritize obedience over understanding.

Getting to the root cause of behavioural issues requires patience, observation, and sometimes professional guidance. It might involve examining our horses' living conditions, diet, exercise regimen, and social interactions. It might mean seeking the expertise of equine veterinarians, bodyworkers, nutritionist or behaviourists to rule out physical discomfort or trauma that could be contributing to their behaviour.

By addressing the root causes of our horses' behavioural issues, we not only improve their quality of life but also strengthen our partnership with them. We empower ourselves as caretakers and trainers to cultivate deeper connections built on empathy and understanding.

So, let's challenge the status quo and commit to doing better by our horses. Let's shift away from band-aid solutions and towards a holistic approach that honors their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Have you ever considered the profound link between your subconscious behaviurs and the demeanor of your equine? Over the the years I've come to learn and appreciate the intricate dance between human and horse, where every thought, feeling, and action reverberates through the invisible threads of our connection.

I see this often: You approach your horse, your mind buzzing with stress from the day's challenges. Unbeknownst to you, your equine picks up on these subtle energetic cues, mirroring your tension with their own unease. It's a silent dialogue, an exchange of energy that transcends words.

But what if I told you that by mastering your mind, you hold the key to transforming your relationship with your horse? Our subconscious and internal energetic environment shapes the dynamics of our equine partnerships.

Your subconscious habits, fears, and anxieties manifest in the way you interact with your horse. A clenched jaw, hurried movements, or scattered thoughts can all signal discord to your equine, disrupting the flow of connection.

By delving into the depths of our subconscious, we unearth the power to rewrite this narrative. Through mindfulness, self-awareness, and intentional practices, we can cultivate a state of inner harmony that radiates outward, enveloping our horses in a sanctuary of calm and trust.

Inside my signature program, the Energetic Equestrian, you step into a journey of self-mastery. Here you'll witness a profound shift in your equine relationships. With each mindful breath, each conscious step, you forge a deeper bond built on mutual respect and understanding. I teach you to embrace the power of your mind, and master your energetic environment. Here you'll live in expanded awareness, able to tap into the subtle shifts of you and your horses energy during your day to day interactions.

Are you drawn to mastering your mind and your energy? Send me a message and lets chat!

It's essential to shift our focus from merely reacting to health issues to actively preventing them. This shift embodies the very essence of holistic horse care—recognizing the interconnectedness of a horse's physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

When we approach horse health holistically, we acknowledge that every facet of a horse's life plays a role in its overall wellness. From the quality of its diet and the fit of their tack, to the nature of its social interactions within their herd and the stimulation of its mind, every detail matters.

Prevention becomes our mantra. As equine care takers we must strive to create an environment that fosters balance and harmony. We must prioritize practices that support the horse's natural behaviours and instincts, promoting not just the absence of disease but the presence of vitality and thriving.

Holistic horse care invites us to become keen observers, attuned to the subtle cues and signals our equines communicate. By understanding their individual needs and preferences, we can tailor our care practices to optimize their well-being.

This approach reminds us of the profound connection we share with our horses—a relationship built on trust, respect, and mutual understanding. It is our responsibility to honour this bond by nurturing every aspect of their wellness, and advocate for them when something is wrong.

Integrative equine sessions, take into consideration every aspect of your horses health, providing you with a comprehensive report so that you know what areas of your horses care need to be rebalanced.

Baby Penelope received her first session today with Balanced Bodyworks. Setting her up for success in the long term! For young foals, body work isn't just a luxury—it's a crucial component in their development and well-being.

Every interaction and experience in a foals life shapes its physical and mental health. Which is why for me, having the right care team means the world. Bodywork plays a pivotal role in every horses life, but for a foal it ensures optimal growth, posture and function.

When my kids were young, I ensured to get them the bodywork they needed (massage / chiro) to recover from the demands that labour had on their delicate bodies.

And just like human infants, foals undergo post natal imbalances, and discomfort as they move through rapid growth spurts. So for me, regular body work sessions are so important for my entire herd at every stage of life. Having Sarah work in Miss P at this young age will help her alleviate any tension, improve the regulation of her nervous system, and promote proper alignment, setting the foundation for a lifetime of sound movement.

Another important aspect of having the right care team in her life, is that all these interactions will fosters a deep sense of trust and relaxation between the Miss P and our team of providers. My care team create a bond built on mutual respect and understanding. This not only enhances Penelope's socialization skills but also reduces stress and anxiety, laying the groundwork for a confident and well-adjusted horse in the long run.

In addition to all of this, getting her bodywork now can also uncover potential issues or abnormalities early on. Skilled practitioners are trained to detect subtle signs of discomfort or asymmetry, allowing for prompt intervention and preventive care. Whether it's identifying a misalignment in the spine or addressing stiffness in the limbs, early detection can mitigate future complications and ensure that Miss P stays healthy, long-term.

We are so grateful to have such an incredible team for our herd that not only provide the best care for our horses, but empower me with the education so that everyday I am more educated to care for them myself 🥰

Hoof balance is one of the most important keys to a balanced horse. A properly balanced hoof carry the weight of a horse's journey, allowing proper posture. The hoof says a lot about a horse's health, and an imbalanced horse can very quickly continue to a host of problems.

I've been so grateful to learn from Heather of Barefoot Performance to coincide with the body and nutrition work I've been doing.

Today we hosted the Fundamentals of a Balanced Horse clinic, where I learned so much!

Starting to trim of cadavers and ending the day with hands on, on my very patient Ted, who is always my trusted horse for learning, whatever that might entail lol. I'm excited to continue mentoring under Heather until I can trim my barn and help my clients even further 😊

Happy Monday Everyone

I am pleased to share a significant milestone in my continuous pursuit of excellence in equine care. After dedicating the past few years to working alongside horses and mastering the art of energy and the mind in terms of horse care, I have time and time again been faced with a pivotal piece that has been integral to their well-being – bodywork and nutrition. After my collaborative program last year The Wholistic Horse Academy, and working alongside Theresa Gilligan of Neachai Equine Ayurveda, and Ashley Stinson of A Plus Equine Bodywork I found myself enthralled by the inner workings of nutrition, and the importance of integrative bodywork to achieve a physically balanced horse.

This ultimately lead me to starting my journey with equibow, and the learning more about the balanced through movement method after the partners in soundness clinic last summer. However I still felt I needed to know more about the last pillar, nutrition.

Prior to entering the world of equine health, I spent years as a natural health and digestive consultant for humans, so the natural fascination on nutrition and internal health resonated very easily.

It is with great excitement that I announce my enrollment in a comprehensive certification program on Holistic Equine Nutrition, under the guidance of Dr Angelic Barbara.

Dr. Barbara's wealth of expertise and commitment to holistic principles align seamlessly with my dedication to providing a well-rounded, integrative wellness program for our equine companions.

Dr. Angelic Barbara is a distinguished authority in the realm of holistic equine nutrition, boasting a wealth of knowledge and practical experience. Her guidance promises to further elevate my understanding and application of holistic nutrition principles within the equine context.

As I progress through this certification program, I am eager to integrate the acquired knowledge into my existing equine care routine, and blend my use of herbalism for horses alongside this knowledge. I am confident that this enhanced understanding of equine nutrition will amplify the effectiveness of my integrative equine sessions and contribute significantly to the overall health and vitality of the horses under my care.

Through the power of collaboration, and being open to learn, we can continue to raise the standards of equine care and ensure the well-being of these incredible animals from a whole body standpoint.

Thank you for your continued support!

The biggest thing I have found with my clients is the often-overlooked aspect of our horsemanship experience - the subtle influence of our subconscious beliefs.

Have you ever found yourself grappling with unexplained riding anxiety or encountering persistent challenges around your horse?

These occurrences may be signalling the presence of subconscious beliefs, quietly influencing our equestrian life.

1. Navigating Riding Anxiety: A Subconscious Companion?Consider this scenario: the anticipation of a ride tinged with unexpected anxiety. Could this emotion be rooted in subconscious beliefs questioning your abilities or casting doubt on your equine partner due to a previous experience?

2. Decoding Riding Challenges: A Subconscious Script?
Do you find yourself repeatedly facing the same riding or handling challenges, almost like a script playing on loop? Rather than mere coincidence, these hurdles may be linked to subconscious beliefs influencing your responses, reactions and perception of everything that unfolds around you. Identifying and understanding these recurring patterns is the first step toward transformative growth and rewiring the mind in your favour.

3. Overthinking in the Saddle: The Role of Subconscious Beliefs
Imagine a ride where your mind is entangled in a web of overthinking and hesitation. Your horse responds with the same angst and uncertainty. Could subconscious beliefs be taking the reins, sowing doubt in your decisions?

4. Equestrian Goals and Subconscious Navigation: A Professional Inquiry
As equestrians, we all harbor aspirational goals with our horses, whether it be riding, handling or relationship related. However, if these goals seem elusive despite possessing the requisite skills, subconscious beliefs may be the barrier between our success.
Acknowledging the influence of subconscious beliefs is paramount. It was through this work that took me from struggling with mental health, five figures in debt, and unable to gain momentum in my equestrian related aspirations.

Through a nuanced and professional lens of over seven years of education regarding the subconscious mind, neurolinguistic programming, cognitive behaviour therapy, and Chinese medicine in relation to the meridian channels and energy body, I invite you to watch The Aligned Equestrian Masterclass tomorrow at 7pm EST, where I will how these hidden beliefs are the catalyst for holding you back in your equestrian and personal narrative.
Replay will be available for those who cannot make the live!

Change used to be my greatest fear. It hovered over me like a storm cloud, triggering constant anxiety whenever it threatened to disrupt my life. I found comfort in routines, avoiding anything that hinted at growth or required stepping out of my comfort zone.

Social interactions felt like walking on thin ice, and opportunities seemed daunting rather than promising. I convinced myself that staying in my safe bubble was the best course, unaware that it was also holding me back.

But life has a way of pushing us towards change, and I found myself at a crossroads. I had to confront the fact that avoiding change was stifling my potential. Slowly, I began to realize that embracing change was the key to progress.

It wasn't an easy shift. I had to break down walls of fear I had built over years. Yet, as I started to step into the unknown, I discovered a sense of freedom and possibility.

I started taking small steps—engaging in conversations, seeking opportunities for growth, and challenging my comfort zone. It was scary, but incredibly rewarding. I found new parts of myself that had been dormant for too long.

Now, change isn't my enemy; it's a partner in my journey of self-discovery. It still brings moments of doubt, but I've learned to focus on the possibilities it offers. The anxiety hasn't vanished, but it no longer dictates my choices.

I've realized that growth lies on the other side of change. It's an ongoing process, and I'm still learning, but one thing is certain: The most significant transformations often come from the changes we fear the most.

Change presents one of life's greatest challenges, yet it's an inevitable aspect of the universe.
Our reluctance towards change often stems from the comfort we find in our current circumstances.
We grow accustomed to our surroundings—our friends, jobs, and homes—and despite their imperfections, we embrace them because they're familiar.
However, this reluctance to embrace change can trap us in the past, preventing us from moving forward with the unfolding potential of the universe.

Just because the universe has granted blessings in our current situation doesn't mean we should remain complacent or stationary.
Remaining receptive to the universe's ongoing actions is crucial. What once succeeded may no longer suffice in the present. To achieve success, one must embrace change willingly.

Not every blessing is meant to be everlasting, nor is every provision. Regularly assessing our friendships is vital.

Who influences us? Whom do we rely on?
It's essential to ensure they're not hindering our growth and potential. Not everyone is meant to stay in our lives indefinitely.

Now, I've come full circle. Embracing change has transformed my life so profoundly that I've found a new purpose. I get to spend my days helping equestrians navigate the challenges of change, fostering growth, encouraging self-reflection, and promoting emotional congruency.

It's incredible how the very thing I once feared has become the cornerstone of my work. I understand firsthand the hurdles of embracing change, and it's immensely fulfilling to guide others through similar journeys. Watching them flourish as they confront their fears and step into the unknown is a privilege beyond measure.

Change isn't just a part of life; it's an opportunity for unparalleled growth. And now, I get to dedicate my life to helping others realize this, especially within the equestrian community, where the connection between horse and rider often mirrors our own relationship with change.

So, to all fellow equestrians out there navigating their own paths: I invite you to join me on this transformative journey. Let's work together to unpack our baggage, confront our fears, and discover the power of energetic and emotional congruency.

It's time to embrace change, step out of our comfort zones, and experience the incredible growth that comes with it. Whether you're a rider, a trainer, or deeply connected to these magnificent animals in any capacity, the Energetic Equestrian Program can help you unpack the baggage, step out of your comfort zone and achieve emotional and energetic congruence for you, and your equine.

Reach out, let's connect, and let's embrace change—together inside the Energetic Equestrian Program

Hey there, wonderful community! As we transition into September, I wanted to share an important update about my availability for equine wellness sessions. Starting next month, there will be a slight change in my schedule to better serve you and our equine companions. I'm excited to offer more availability to continue to promote the well-being and happiness of equines with my equine wellness sessions that incorporate energy, body and emotional work to holistically support your equine. The support of the community I've built thus far means the world to me, and I can't wait to share these new more availability with you. Please note there is no travel fee for anyone within 30km of Princeton, however a travel fee does apply outside of 30km. I will travel a max of 2 hours, and for multiple bookings I will split travel fee between each owner. I will travel outside of 2 hours however this will only be available for clients / barns with 3 or more horses per booking. As always I am still offering distance healing and communication sessions, as well as distance / in person reiki mentorship! Stay tuned for some September specials on services and mentorships 💛

Put your horse first In the winter Zephyr had his first canter, unfortunately while going on the right lead he slipped in the snow and was very sore in the shoulder. After that he was reluctant to even trot so he had some body work and time off. It's important to me that when my horses have experienced something that hinders their well being that I investigate it from all angles. In April I started working with A Plus Equine Massage who introduced me to Equibow, which has really created this ripple effect in how I care for my horses. Knowing I had always an inclination to add some form of bodywork to my toolkit, I felt so drawn to this modality. So, I took the horse owners course through Equi-Bow Equine Bodywork Technique after seeing the transformations on my boys, and really wanting to be able to continue this care for them, and the other horses in my care. Zephyr has had three sessions now - one from Ashley, and two from me. Yesterday we did our first training ride since beginning and not only did Zephyr have his big beautiful trot back, but he successfully carried out a lovely canter, and was able to do some some tight circles that even before his slip, he struggled with. His flexibility, range of motion, and over all posture has already greatly improved. On top of the physical changes he has been able to release so many trapped emotions stored deep within his nervous system, allowing him to seek out affection, and connection, deeper than hes ever done before. We still have a long way to go but knowing that I have the tools to help my horses emotionally, energetically and physically feels so good! Thank you Ashley do I ever feel grateful to have met you a couple years ago!

Do you struggle with anxiety, lack of confidence, or fear as an equestrian? You're not alone. Fortunately, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) offers a solution. NLP explores the connection between our thoughts, language, and behavior, enabling us to overcome challenges and thrive in the equestrian world. NLP benefits equestrians by helping them rewire limiting beliefs, replace negativity with positivity, and boost confidence. Anchoring emotional states empowers riders to switch from anxiety to confidence instantly. Traumatic experiences can be addressed through techniques like timeline therapy and hypnosis, allowing for healing and release of associated fears. By enhancing focus and establishing a strong mind-body connection, equestrians can enter a state of flow where distractions disappear. NLP techniques also improve communication skills, enabling stronger bonds with horses through non-verbal cues and language patterns. The most profound changes occur when we embark on an inner journey of healing and growth. Embrace the process, and you'll witness a remarkable transformation that transcends the surface. This transformation will create a massive ripple effective in your personal, and equestrian life.
